I'm not an old school photographer - barely schooled, actually.  Until digi cameras, my photo activities centered around the occasional vacation, party, wow-look-at-that-weird (fill in the blank) event.  Some of my old school photo friends have spoken of the joy of creating and using their first pin hole camera and while I like the images, the process seems like a lot of work.

Well... Corbis has made it easier for me/you to embark on this voyage of discovery.  They are giving away templates and instructions for pin hole cameras.  Here is the link

I don't have time now (gotta file taxes, complete some house projects, yadda yadda ....) but soon!

Thought you all might find time for this stuff - looks like fun!

Today, I learned how to use a new cash register.  The woman who taught me the basics is 94 years old and believe me, I paid attention.  Learning is so much fun.

I learned a few more new things about photoshop too.  Here is a useful Photoshop article, "28 More Exceptionally Useful Photoshop Shortcuts."  I constantly use the Ctrl A (select all), Ctrl D (deselect) and Ctrl T (transform) commands - really saves time.  Enjoy!

Steven Wright always has the right pin to burst your bubble. 

I suppose I would be happier if I were to spend more time being grateful for what I have, which is a lot, imho.  But, is it wrong to want it all?  Hmmm.
